1. "Flavored" vodka is just silly. Vodka should taste like vodka, not some "flavoring."

2. Black Cherry tastes like cough syrup
I guess if you are partial to cough syrup that's cool. Made me gag. I thought the cranberry was ok, but I may have been drunk at the time. LoL.

5. There is a bar in NYC called the Russian Vodka Room
They make their own infused vodkas. The cherry tasted like cough syrup. The dill tasted basically like alcoholic pickle juice. But the horseradish -- was kind of indescribable. POW! They also have other flavors which I have not yet had the opportunity to try.

8. Make it yourself.
Get some vodka, add some dill, walla! :) You might want to start with a small bottle for experimental purposes.

12. It's easy peasy!

You can just bung the flavoring in the bottle it comes in especially if you are doing something like dill. I haven't ever done vodka infusions but I have done flavored olive oil and vinegar. I think I may have to try it as well! I wonder what a sage vodka would taste like?

11. What does death taste like?
I don't care for flavored vodka. My theory is if I want vodka, I'll drink vodka - if I want fruit, I'll eat fruit.

I mix my Stoli with Safeway Diet Grapefruit soda - that's enough fruit for me. :toast:

14. I think the ruby red grapefruit flavored vodka is very good.
I haven't tried any other but mango, which I didn't care for.
